Performance and Operating Conditions

Lam Research released its Q2 FY2026 financial report on January 28, 2026.

Gross margin was 49.70%, slightly above the upper end of guidance. In terms of business, DRAM revenue significantly increased to 23%, driven by the transition to HBM3E and HBM4; however, revenue in Mainland China declined by 18.27% quarter-over-quarter, mainly due to shipment timing adjustments.
